I saw it last week. I also really enjoyed it. Sure, it has stupid bits - but it's Indiana Jones! A worthy Indiana Jones film, and a great brain-off-popcorn-muncher in my opinion.

Now why ruin a good action/adventure movie by slowing it down with character developments?  (actually, I like character developments in novels, but in action/adventure movies, I just want to relax and be entertained).

We don't need character development. We know Indy. We know Marion. We don't need to know the villains, because Indy villains are caricatures anyway. (This is not intended as an insult to the movies, since they are exactly what they're trying to be--boys' adventure novels onscreen.) We don't know "Mutt," but I think we get to know him well enough, ditto Ox. The genre provides us with just the level of character development it requires.
